Is this a good choice to block TV noise while I'm trying to read?

I don't think so. It will block the drone of an airplane but you do hear conversations (ie flight attendant asking if you want coffee etc.)

I think you would have to have music playing in order to not hear the TV at all. I agree with the other answer in that you don't hear things like the airplane noise but hear people talking to you.

Yes, no problem. You can also put the TV on mute and the sound will only come from the speakers

I think this depends on how loud your TV is and where the TV and fan are located. It is loud enough to give the white noise which helps me sleep at night. Might work for you.

If you mean noise around the room, not what you're listening to, then yes. It blocks out quite a bit of sound from around you.

I have mine in the playroom and away from anywhere we sit to watch tv. Noise for me is not an issue.

It isn't the quietest device but I'd think you'd be fine if the door was closed. You could consider a low playing radio in the background to mask it more.

It can be quite noisy even with TV or music on, but good news...I found a way to suppressed it, simply by using some sort of lubricant over the pad and eh voila, problem disappeared...I personally use ' RUSTCURE' by FORMULA 3000..you can use something similar to that...good luck

Nope. The screen is like a vinyl sheet and not porous so the sound will be blocked.

Yes, you can hear either. You just have to mute the TV speakers if you don't want to hear them.

I think it would be a bit loud if you were trying to watch TV in the same room.

I would say it depends on where you connect this device to the tv. If you connect it using the standard headphone jack on tv, it'll mute the tv speakers as most devices do, no matter what (unless your tv had some very special feature to enable speakers and headphones simultaneously -- quite unlikely). You can use this device and still hear through tv speakers if your tv has "audio out" RCA connectors and you use the suggested "Y" RCA cable to connect the wireless headphones. So, if your tv does not have these connectors and/or you don't have the cable adapter, your only choice would be to connect to the standard headphone jack muting the speakers.

The device will most of the time decrease the volume. It won't be desirable for senior who needs TV to be louder.

I use mine to watch tv shows on my laptop computer, and they work wonderfully. The block out sound that is around very well.

In a very quiet setting, maybe. But not loud enough to elicit complaints, I don't think. I routinely listen on them while my wife watches TV, and she's never mentioned it. And she's the type that surely would, if it interfered with her shows!

I see it as 'white noise'...I can't hear it over the tv in my bedroom and I have 'extra fine hearing', so I don't like anything that's too loud or noisy. This seems to be just right for me. Hope this helps you make your choice.

this should work well for you. it's not overly noisy but enough so that it drowns out most everything else. i use it for the same purpose, and i'm very pleased with it.

Why not? If you have an output jack on your TV... Perhaps if that's the main use, you might like to look for something more comfortable.
